The hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle in women is estrogen. Estrogen is responsible for thickening the lining of the uterus during the first half of the cycle, leading up to ovulation. It also plays a role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
The estrous cycle occurs in most mammals, including dogs and cats, and is typically shorter and more predictable than the menstrual cycle in humans. In the estrous cycle, females are only sexually receptive during a specific period, while in the menstrual cycle in humans, women are sexually receptive throughout the cycle but can only conceive during ovulation.
The average length of the menstrual cycle is around 28 days, but it can vary between 21 to 35 days for many women.
Sperm does not directly influence the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones like estrogen and progesterone that are produced by the ovaries. Sperm's role is to fertilize an egg if present, which can lead to pregnancy but does not impact the regularity of the menstrual cycle.

No, not every woman has a menstrual cycle. Most healthy adult cis-women will menstruate, however women who have reached menopause will no longer have a menstrual cycle, nor will women who have had a hysterectomy - basically women who are no longer fertile. Women who use hormonal birth control don't have a menstrual cycle, as the purpose of hormonal birth control is to suppress the menstrual cycle so they don't ovulate - the bleeding women get is a withdrawal bleed, it mimics menstruation but isn't the same as menstruation. Many women were born biologically male, thus regardless of changes to their gender or genital reassignment surgery to change their sex, they are not capable of ovulation and thus don't have a menstrual cycle - although interestingly hormones given to many transsexual women can create symptoms similar to that of the menstrual cycle.
